Hum - Inlet Throbbing Gristle - Part Two: The Endless Not

hahaha the 5080's 128 voices. Impressive!

Jacques Cousteau? Oh yeah... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=3561274 https://film.avclub.com/jacques-cousteau-throws-dynamite-at-fish-in-the-first-d-1798257910 Fuck Jacques Cousteau, and if I'm a cunt for saying that, so be it. I've never heard anything negative about David Attenborough.

Yeah this one and The Great Ecstasy of the Sculptor Steiner are my favorite documentaries of Herzog's. The floor-level shot of the girl with the ball is incredible.

Gave Barbet Schroeder's "General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait" a re-watch last night. Had been many years since my prior viewing. First: This film is a documentary, that is not subjective. Schroeder has commented that there were French audiences laughing at several scenes in this film. A reflexive action is to consider that wrong. But I put more of a critique/judgement on Schroeder himself. This film is the blueprint for a mockumentary, before the genre existed. The fact that that the subject matter happens to be very real with very real consequences is only represented in the film 3 times, I reckon (if you've seen the film, it won't be hard to figure out the 3 scenes I'm referring to, not giving anything away here). The rest is a thorough (and frankly, funny) depiction of a tyrannical despot living in isolated luxury without any scrutiny. This is where the film becomes problematic: p.s. If you choose to read this spoiler and don't know the history of Idi Amin. He was a general who became the sole ruler of Uganda for several years, in which an estimated 300k of his own people were killed. Keep that in mind.

Have seen the former (well-made but not really my style). Haven't seen the latter (premise didn't seem that interesting to me). I've already said a lot about it in this thread and maybe even elsewhere on this forum, but Wang Bing's "Dead Souls" from 2018 is the most moving piece of cinema I may have ever seen. That work will (not might, will) ultimately be held up as a document of importance the way Shoah is. Hopefully in my lifetime.

If ya don't care about the filter being post Amp-EG, I'd just suggest using an external filter and effects. I have a Yamaha DX200 and its filter is hideous. No doubt the Korg and Preenfm are way better. With FM, I tend to find that velocity sensitivity tends to accomplish what I envision a filter doing, better than an actual filter itself.

I still need to see that. It's definitely on the watchlist.

I missed this, will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Mikhail Kalatozov's "Letter Never Sent" Sergei Urusevsky's camerawork was a revelation in "The Cranes are Flying". Here it lapses to overkill (that persistent flame filter/superimposition, GAH!). Shame as well because the location (Northern Siberian Taiga) is so promising for his style. Kalatozov's taste for melodrama doesn't fit here, either. Wanted to like this but meh. Tatiana Samoilova is beautiful as always, so there's that.

Same. This almost seems like a hardware version of FM4 on iOS which is probably my favorite FM interface ever.

Finally saw Barbara Loden's "Wanda" last night. I will join the chorus who find this film revelatory. Agreed totally with Marguerite Duras's observation that this was an almost impossible and miraculous bond between a character and the actor who portrayed them. The actor is an actor, and not the character. Yet the actor can relate to the character in the way where the performance transcends the plasticity of acting and instead truly channels the life this character lives. And tangentially, Duras taking the opportunity of an interview with Elia Kazan and choosing to talk about this film instead of his own work is reason #2353453456435345 why I love Duras. And any opportunity to show Elia Kazan as the piece of shit he was should be celebrated.

Same, always found him and his films obnoxious.

Karel Zeman's "Invention for Destruction" Fuck that movie is just cool! There is a sequence that is the perfect visual match to Mr. Bungle's "The Bends". Cannot recommend any Zeman stuff high enough.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the support!!! ?

Yeah Mubi's categorization system is all funky. I've never ran into limitations on viewing. As far as the 1 new every day, I think it's a new movie added to their library each day, but it doesn't stay up there forever. For instance, that link I sent for the Lav Diaz, for a month they kept up almost his entire filmography, but then a lot of them left (but the ones still listed on that link, are available to watch). edit: To clarify, I got Mubi as a channel through my Prime account. It's got the whole catalog that you'd find if you signed up through the website.

https://mubi.com/library/specials/lavdiaz Those are all able to stream on Mubi. It's not his entire filmography, but it's a lot and contains almost all his best films.

Lotta Lav Diaz on Mubi ?

Roland SH-32 will do 3 and a drum track. Those synths are fun as shit too. edit: And a ton of oscillator types (the oscillators are PCM-based), including spectral

Fred P dropped this in a Boiler Room set a few years ago. Sooooooo good

SubFM's mixes have somehow wound up on Soundcloud. I went ahead and reposted my shows there if that's your fancy: https://soundcloud.com/jeanne-dielman Here's the most recent show btw, hadn't posted it up here previously: download link: https://archive.sub.fm/taupe-beats-23-oct-2020/

He's referring to internal districts within Texas, so for things like seats to the Texas State House of Representatives. It always winds up working out to get districts that would likely go Democrat gets chopped up so the Democrat votes are divided and Republicans win. Gerrymandering sucks, fuck Tom Delay.

Francesco Rosi's "The Mattei Affair" I love Rosi's editing style. Combining that with his consistently great choices for subject matter. It's wild to see how this film is both still totally cogent today, and yet somehow feels quaint next to the tenor of the world's tensions now. Gian Maria Volontè is perfectly cast for the title role.
